Coming up at 2PM. Looks like Cook getting her 2nd consecutive start.

Buffalo the only other undefeated team at 5-0. Really big test for the Rockets today against Fair and Hemphill and others.

Only game in the regular season between Buffalo and Toledo makes it even bigger.

Listened to her interview pre-game. Very self assured young woman.

Sammi opens the scoring.

Q for three. 8-6 Rockets.

10-8 UT at the media TO.

Cook to the line when they get back.

Q to Curry on the fast break for the easy 2.

23-17 UT

Soph with the three to end the quarter!

26-19 UT after 1.

Really good quarter. Everyone participating.

Live stats only have Q with 5, but I swore she has 7. Maybe gave a bucket to someone else.

A little helter-skelter early in Q2.

Rockets cold to start the 2nd, and Cook getting introduced to the shot blocking capability of Buffalo.

28-21 UT

Wiard didn't touch her, but still the foul call. 2 fouls on Soph. That hurts.

2 fouls on Hemphill. That helps.

31-26 UT at the Q2 media TO

Rockets getting inside but getting their shots blocked left and right. Need to be stronger on the ball.

Two skilled teams, and three incompetent officials.

33-31 UT at the half

Well, that was a pretty bad offensive quarter. Fortunate to still be ahead. Need to get back to the ball movement they had in the 1st quarter.

According to live stats:
Q has 9
Wiard 8
Goss & Noveroske 5 each
Cook, Sammi & Curry 2 each

Q also has 5 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals.

UT has 9 offensive rebounds, but only 3 2nd chance points. That's not gonna cut it.

Yea, great first quarter but Buffalo defense really shut rockets down inside. They must have 6 or 7 blocks.

Fair held to 8 points on 3-12 shooting. But Hemphill has 12 and that's been the problem so far.

Rockets not shooting FTs well at all. Hurting thm
